To assist in testing and setting up the system it is possible to generate data test signals in the form of
cue/tally light commands. The RCP will generate a cue/tally command from the ‘cue test’ action button
which will light the cue indicator on both the Joystick controller and the interface box if everything is
working correctly.
Basic Operation
The operation of the RCP is fairly intuitive but there are some
basics that are described here to speed up and simplify the
overall operation. The drawing here shows the layout and
controls of the RCP.
The top row of buttons are for ‘Channel Selection’. Each button
can be allocated a particular camera make and model and
whenever data is sent with a particular button selected, then an
assigned ID code for that button will only be accepted by an
interface box with that particular channel ID selected.
The next row are the ‘Action’ buttons. Each has a specific
function and are always operational regardless of which menu
is selected.
The two ‘Menu Select’ buttons are used to step through the
various menu screens.
The ‘Function Adjust’ buttons will perform actions on the items
shown in the current menu. Usually this will be an increase or
decrease in the value displayed.
The ‘Gain/Black’ buttons is used for changing the red and blue
knobs from controlling the colour gains of a camera to
controlling the colour blacks if that function is available.
The smaller knob to the bottom left is the ‘Master Black’ control,
and the larger knob to the right is the ‘Iris’ Control. The ‘Auto’
button just above it used to select an auto iris function. The
operation of this is described more fully for each different
camera type as the way it works will depend on the camera type
being controlled.
Note that the illumination of the Menu Select and Function
Adjust buttons will change depending on the menu displayed. If
a button is lit then it will perform some function. If it is not lit then
it will have no effect. The Gain/Black button always defaults to
colour gain control and if selected to ‘on’ for colour black control
will default back to ‘off’ after about 10 secs if no control is
moved.
